Senior Product Designer, Direct to Consumer

Let's face it, a company whose mission is human transformation better have some fresh thinking about the employer/employee relationship.

We do. We can't cram it all in here, but you'll start noticing it from the first interview.

Even our candidate experience is different. And when you get an offer from us (and accept it), you get way more than a paycheck. You get a personal BetterUp Coach, a development plan, a trained and coached manager, the most amazing team you've ever met (yes, each with their own personal BetterUp Coach), and most importantly, work that matters.

This makes for a remarkably focused and fulfilling work experience. Frankly, it's not for everyone. But for people with fire in their belly, it's a game-changing, career-defining, soul-lifting move.

Join us and we promise you the most intense and fulfilling years of your career, doing life-changing work in a fun, inventive, soulful culture.

If that sounds exciting-and the job description below feels like a fit-we really should start talking.

As a Senior Product Designer at BetterUp, you will play a key role in shaping our UX framework and UI design approach for our Direct to Consumer experience. Your focus will be on enhancing the experience for members using BetterUp for coaching and professional development.

In this role, you will:

• Innovate and push design boundaries while consistently advocating for our members.
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to understand pain points, validate designs, and iterate quickly.
• Thrive in a collaborative, ego-free environment that values finding the best outcomes.

You will lead projects from concept to launch, embracing ambiguity and leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including generative AI. Your expertise in growth design and re-engagement strategies, along with a curious and investigative mindset, will be essential to your team's success.

What you'll do:

• Drive the creation of immersive, enlightening experiences to help our members learn about themselves and make progress towards their goals, working collaboratively with behavior scientists, engineers, product managers, and content creators.
• Lead your own design projects from brief, research, and concept exploration through prototyping, visual design details, motion design, and stewardship through development.
• Organize and conduct user research and test prototypes to understand people's needs and the resonance of our product-synthesizing the results to inspire empathy and bring clarity to the broader team.
• Demonstrating a keen ability to explore and apply new technologies like AI to enhance product experiences.
• Execute the process of planning, navigating trade-offs, and creating meaningful user experiences - inspiring and ensuring that the products we build are designed to create impact.
• Showcase solid stakeholder management skills, ensuring proactive communication across the organization. Translate diverse feedback into accountable actions that drive forward our mission.
• Align customer needs with business objectives, maintaining a company-first and team-first approach. Your ability to connect the dots is essential for strategic direction and impactful outcomes.
• Make smart and decisive decisions and be comfortable and self-driven through ambiguity and uncertainty in an ever changing macroeconomy.
• Occasionally step into product management roles, strategizing on product direction, understanding user mental models, and extending your influence beyond traditional design responsibilities to exhibit ownership and proactive problem-solving.

If you have some or all of the following, please apply:

• You have 5+ years of experience leading and/or operating as an individual contributing designer.
• Bonus if you're familiar with multi-sided marketplace experiences, growth design or consumer products.
• Passionate about our mission to "help every person pursue their life with clarity, purpose, and passion"
